three pink balloons
Thank you so much for your sweet words and many prayers.
I can't tell you how much it means to us.
Once again, on a very emotional day, we felt so loved.
We started Cora's birthday off with a trip to the donut shop.
We ate lots of donuts in her honor.
Levi thought it was great.
The rest of the day was very low key.
Nothing special, just spending time together as a family.
But we did take a trip to the cemetery...
and released three pink balloons for Cora's third birthday.
Levi helped me.
But he was getting impatient because I couldn't get the balloons untied.
And then I just about lost my balloon releasing partner.
But I managed to get his attention again.
And we let go of the balloons one by one.
Then we watched them float away.
Three pink balloons for sissy's birthday.

sweet post. I'm glad the day was full of family time and love. I think God rejoices when He sees us sorrow in what we've lost, but rejoice in what we know was His will and His design. You guys are a living testimony of what it is to trust and press on and place your hope IN Jesus. Cora's legacy will live on with parents like you, for sure.
Happy Birthday Sweet Cora... and happy days to you and yours Mac Fam!
